WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN EBONYI HOTEL
The body of a yet-to-be identified woman has been discovered in a hotel room in Abakaliki, the state capital.
According to the State Police command’s spokesperson, DSP Loveth Odah, who confirmed the report on Sunday 16th of December, the woman’s corpse was discovered at the Crown Garden Hotel, located along Afikpo Road in the capital city.
She said the woman had deep cuts on the chest and neck, and had been deposited in a mortuary.
Odah, who said that the victim was found in a pool of her own blood, said one Uchenna Awoke had been identified as the suspect.
One of the customers of the hotel, Mr Sylvester Oduma, whose complaint led to the discovery of the corpse, narrated what happened; “I arrived at the hotel on Sunday, paid for a suite and checked into the hotel only to perceive an unpleasant odour oozing out of the next room, which became unbearable.
“I quickly drew the attention of the management of the hotel to the unpleasant odour and they opened the door and found the lifeless body of a fair lady in the room.
Odah stated, “The manager of the hotel, the supervisor and other workers of the hotel were taken to the station for questioning and I must confess to you that the whole thing is negligence on the part of the hotel management. How can a guest be murdered in a hotel room and days after, the management was not aware of the incident?
“We will investigate the matter properly and I assure you, the perpetrator(s) of the act must be arrested and prosecuted. All we are asking is for the members of the public to avail the police of useful information that will lead to the arrest of the suspect.”
